A US governor took home $1.4m (£1m) in a gambling windfall last year, a copy of his recent tax filing shows.
JB Pritzker is reported to have won the sum while playing blackjack at a casino in Las Vegas while on holiday with his wife and friends.
The two-term Democrat already has a net worth of $3.9bn (£2.9bn), according to Forbes, and is an heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune.
A campaign spokesperson told CBS, the BBC's partner in the US, that Pritzker planned to donate the money to charity but did not respond when asked why he had not already done so.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, the Illinois governor described the win and himself as "incredibly lucky".
